The doctor said you don't have a uterus but doesn't know if you have a vagina? How about a hymen? Without a uterus I would expect Aunt Flow to stay away. It would take more testing to find out if you have fully developed ovaries or fallopian tubes. Without knowing the whole story, it may still be possible to get pregnant if some of the other organs are there. If you are getting aroused, at least some of the hormones are there or they could mostly be there if you have ovaries.

How can you have a fully developed uterus AND be missing your uterus? If he's rubbing your vagina and it gets wet, why are you asking if you have a vagina?

There are some conditions that can cause the incompleteness of the uterus, vagina and surrounding tissues. sometimes the vagina will be shortened and incomplete to the point where, in order to have sexual intercourse, surgery must be performed. Sometimes there are simply physical abnormalities and at other times they are genetic. One syndrome is Müllerian agenesis, and the following describes the genetic component of What is Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome?

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a disorder that occurs in females and mainly affects the reproductive system. This condition causes the vagina and uterus to be underdeveloped or absent. Affected women usually do not have menstrual periods due to the absent uterus. Often, the first noticeable sign of MRKH syndrome is that menstruation does not begin by age 16 (primary amenorrhea). Women with MRKH syndrome have a female chromosome pattern (46,XX) and normally functioning ovaries. They also have normal female external genitalia and normal breast and pubic hair development. Although women with this condition are usually unable to carry a pregnancy, they may be able to have children through assisted reproduction.

Women with MRKH syndrome may also have abnormalities in other parts of the body. The kidneys may be abnormally formed or positioned, or one kidney may fail to develop (unilateral renal agenesis). Affected individuals commonly develop skeletal abnormalities, particularly of the spinal bones (vertebrae). Females with MRKH syndrome may also have hearing loss or heart defects.

How common is Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome?
MRKH syndrome affects approximately 1 in 4,500 newborn girls.


Girls/women with incompleted vaginal openings can often use dialators to stretch the vagina so that normal intercourse can take place. Other times it can be done with your partner but this can cause much discomfort and can be very frustrating for both the male and the female. The best advise that I can give is for you and your boyfriend to attend a gynecologist and discuss your issue. You will need a physical to determine the state of your vagina and your uterus. Then under your doctors guidance you can determine which is the best method for you to have intercourse, whether it be surgery or dilation alone.

Also, you need to make certain you have no uterus for certain as an small incomplete one is a possibility. Most people with this condition have ovaries and are able to have their own children through surrogacy and invitro. Persons with a small or incomplete uterus may often have a period each month as well although generally it is the absence of a monthly period that prompts the initial diagnosis.

So in short, see a doctor to help you in this. A doctor will be the best one to advise you and your boyfriend of what will be required to have a normal healthy sex life. You certainly could try intercourse yourselves to see if there is any vaginal length, but it could be frustrating and could end up damaging your relationship. See a doctor first.

One other thing, I too don't have a uterus but that is because the uterus and the cervix was surgically removed through a hysterectomy. This is very common. I do have a normal vagina though and the absence of a uterus and a cervix in no way takes away from any sexual activity.

You just need to ensure that you have enough of a vaginal canal or that you can dialate enough it to accommodate a male. It sounds as if your clitoris is normal and functioning well and that your glands are producing enough lubrication.

However, as I said, please please please see a proper doctor - it will make your life so much better.

He is my first bf,and we are together for 3 years and 4 days now.But,as you all know,the passion between us got stronger over the years,and he stood by me in that period when my doctor told me i cant get pregnant because of this.At least,i can give only him the pleasure of sexual intercourse,but im little scarred if i cant do that either..Thats why im asking this.By my opinion if i get this wet,and its way much,i could have intercourse,right?Cause when the secretions come flowing that much,i get wet at the lowest portion of the external part of my vagina,so i think,if the secretions go out from that point,the canal is existing and its fully developed,right?And thanks for the tips,i will go to the doctors office,but i would like to know the answer of my question..

The only way to know for certain (if you will be able to have full intercourse without the aid of surgery or dilation) is to try. If your vagina is of the normal width but not deep enough, you will have to go slow. You boyfriend will only be able to penetrate as far as is comfortable for you. You can continue doing this, trying to go a little deeper each and every time, however it could take a long time to get to the point where it would be considered normal. You may never get to that point without intervention. You could possibly get dilators and use those as well to stretch the vagina along with him trying to penetrate you.

I wish you luck, let us know what and how you are doing.

Hi girls!
But i have a bf who im with for 3 years now,and we want to have the first time sex.We often get intimate such as oral sex and touching and bla bla,...How can i know if i have the canal?

Does the touching and bla bla include you bf putting a finger inside you? Or you doing so?

I would say if you can insert a finger there, then you have a vaginal canal. How large is it would be the remaining question. If a finger goes in easily, it may well be able to accommodate your bf's penis, at least with going slow and a bit of practice.

When and under what circumstance did your doctor tell you you might be lacking a vaginal canal? If it was in the last few years and if you were present in his/her office, I find it peculiar that he or she would offer such an unsettling comment without having a look to find out, or without referring you to an appropriate specialist to find out. A related question is when, and how, was your absent uterus discovered? If a pelvic exam was done, that should have told the rest of the story.

It sounds as though you have not received the most accurate and complete medical advice. I hope you get that soon. At your age and stage of life, you should not be left with so much uncertainty. Best of luck. I think you'll be okay.
